I read before bed but am unsure if I should be using a no back light Kindle or if the Kindle app on my iPhone is ok? Anyone have experience with sleeping quality after reading using either of these? (beehaw.org)

Extra info:

My iPhone is using dark mode and I have the blue light filter on roughly half.

My kindle is an old model e-ink with no light.

I think it depends on if you feel it's keeping you up or causing eye strain. I find a backlit Kindle has a decent amount of brightness and is easy on the eyes.

Using an iPhone I'd be more worried about distractions than anything else

I’ve been reading on an iPad mini for years, dark mode, and I have no complaints, never had any sleeping issues. For me the e-ink reader really shines at the beach, irreplaceable there.
